Hi Roger, I would disagree, I was QRV from MD4K, and as Bob suggested, anyone
not doing Single band picks their time, part of your all band strategy.I'm not
sure how much Bob appreciates this, but EU activity is quite high in EU, albeit
1 point contacts. So what of the DX, actually NA? So, looking at my 160m
stints ( yes, I am a desirable mult, so only ran :-) ) :Saturday 03:00 - 03:47
- 1st stint, so I was popular, 1 K1 only made it through.06:56 - 07:03 - 9
NA - W1, W3, K5, W8, VE3Sunday05:04 - 05:30 - 14 NA W1, W2, W4, W9, VA2.
I think PJ2T was cqing in EU face when I came on band, no one got through07:06
-07:09 - 3 NA W1, VE3MW5B ( G3WVG) did a single band effort, but I've not
seen a breakdown, I will guarantee even more NA and DX, my time would be
limitedSo, that's 27 NA QSOs in less than 2 hours operating. Signals seemed
quite reasonable to meAntenna was a dipole, at 45' - we could not ut tower to
the full height, due to the battering we had from Storm Bert73 Dave, G3NKC

topband@contesting.com Subject: Topband: CQWW CW 160m Yes conditions weren't
very good on 160m over the weekend.Friday night was best for me, I popped on a
couple of times during the nightand did manage about 10 NA QSOs. However, I
expected to hear more of the Big Guns from NA calling CQ, butdidn't !Only
worked one additional NA station on Saturday night.It seemed to me to be more a
lack of activity than hopeless conditions.Roger
